Atheists Seek To Remove Cross From 9/11 Museum

Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”

A group of atheists is trying to force the 9/11 Museum to remove the “Miracle Cross” because they say its existence in the museum violates the Constitution. 

The “Miracle Cross” is a 17-foot cross-shaped beam that was found in the rubble of 9/11.  The cross was displayed at Ground Zero and many workers on the site considered it a source of comfort and hope in the midst of the death and destruction.

The anti-Christian group American Atheists says the cross is part of religious history, not American history, and says that its existence in the 9/11 Museum that opens in May violates the separation of church and state.

The Museum is on land owned by the Port Authority and financed by taxpayers.

The atheist group says that if the cross is displayed, that his group wants a similar item such as a plaque that reads, “atheists died here too.”

Federal Judge Reena Raggi appeared to be skeptical of the claims by the atheists.

“There are countless cases of museums including religious artifacts in their exhibits and it’s going to be described in a way that talks about the history of the object,” Judge Raggi said.  “What is the problem here?  An argument has been made that you’re trying to censor history.”

A ruling is expected in several months.

  1. These are the last days so it is not a wonder. We are yet to witness alot of persecution but Christ remains on the throne. We pray that God opens their eyes to see the light. By the power of the Cross, the captives will be set free..
    Kenya.

  2. No man can ever hide or bury the power that comes with the cross. Jesus is Lord and His Blood that was sacrificed on the cross is more Powerful. We are called to walk by Faith not by Sight when we follow God. I say wear your crosses around your necks,fingers,wrists. Place them in your homes, write scripture on walls. Boldly take your stand one by one . Share the “Good News”. I do not worry that these atheists will take away our crosses.

  3. Every knee is going to bow to Jesus. If you believe in Him or not. The Cross is Gods symbolism. There’s too many non believers wanting to take Jesus out of America. What it was built on. Alright Let the Army of the Lord rise. We say No, God is here and he’s going to stay. Glory to God
